About Us
Do you think your child needs an Internet Detox? Or learn to concentrate better? Or learn to delay gratification and think strategically?
You come to the right page and hopefully would like to join us.
We are part of the School for Gifted and Talented CIC (Community Interest Company CRN 11236439 ). Chess Club is a community club that is open for children age 6-12.
If you opened this page and reached that far, then you know how good the game of chess is for our children. You probably also already know that delayed gratification is one of the few scientifically measurable skills that help children to succeed in life. Children who learn to wait and strategically plan ahead were scientifically proven to have more success in life (read about the Marshmallow test on our Fun Facts page). Those are the very qualities that the game of chess develops.
We meet in a child-friendly Altrincham Community Centre, THE HUB as well as online via Zoom for those, who cannot attend our face to face classes. Our children receive brief coaching at the beginning of the meeting and play with each other under supervision and help. They are also encouraged to compete in larger Tournaments across Greater Manchester. Parents are very welcome to participate in the life of the club.

Features About Us
Russian School for Gifted and Talented
The idea behind the school is to provide all inclusive supplementary education providing classes and courses to help young people to develop intellectually. All children are talented, it is our methodology that sometimes needs changing and adjusting. We aim to fill in this gap in mainstream education. Chess club is a part of our ternary vision in helping young children to succeed in the unknown future. Here are three steps: Languages – Chess – Maths.
Preparation for Maths challenge and other Maths Classes
We have run the Primary Mathematics Challenge for a group of children within our chess members, who were keen on maths. This encourages enthusiasm, boosts confidence in mathematics and shows the different ways questions can be asked. The Challenge inspires children to get together and learn more maths in groups with a fun approach.
Language and training services
We offer a wide range of multilingual services. It varies from cultural training for businesses and professionals willing to enlarge their knowledge in European cultures and languages to highly skilled professional translations in Russian, Polish, etc… Community translations, manuals, documents, events – School for Gifted and Talented is here to help with most of that.
